Ekottara Agama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ekottara Agama is an old Indian buddhist text, of which currently only a Chinese translation is extant. Its name in the Chinese Buddhist Canon is the Ekottara-āgama-sūtra, or Zēngyī Ahánjīng (增一阿含經). It is not known from which early Buddhist school this version of the Ekottara Agama comes originally, but scholars suspect it might be the Mahasamghika.
The Ekottara Agama is related to the Anguttara Nikaya of the Pali Canon, but of the Agamas contained in the Chinese Buddhist Canon, it is the one which differs most from the Pali version.
